The Ultimate Guide to Wroclaw

It’s probably the best guide to Wroclaw that you can possibly find. We spent 2 days on searching for the best places to visit, and then we spent 2 weeks in the city and around. Being native Poles, it was easier for us to discover truly unique spots of Lower Silesian Voivodeship. You will find everything that you need in this article, including top things to do in Wroclaw, where to stay, where to eat in Wroclaw, what are the recommended day trips from the city, and much more.

This post is REALLY long, so if you don’t have time to read everything, check out the Table of Contents at the top of the article. Then click on the heading that seems interesting to you. You will be directed to the paragraph you are looking for.

General Info

How to pronounce Wroclaw? The name of this city may be really hard to say for the foreigners. Below you will find the right way of Wroclaw pronunciation. CLICK to hear it:

Wroclaw is called ‘Venice of the North’. There are over 300 bridges in the city! Just to compare, you can find 400+ bridges in Venice. The difference is not that big.

For many years, Wroclaw has been a part of Germany. It became a Polish city after World War II, that’s why still many people call it Breslau.

The city was almost completely destroyed during the last three months of the war. It was slowly rising from ashes, and it’s now one of the most vibrant and multicultural places in Poland. It’s the 4th largest city in the country, right after Warszawa, Krakow, and Lodz. Wroclaw is located in southwestern Poland, close to the border with Czechia and Germany.

Japanese Garden Wroclaw (Ogrod Japonski)

Ogrod Japonski is our favorite garden in Wroclaw. Even though it’s located a bit far from the city center, it’s worthwhile.

The main alleys of the garden are accessible, so it’s good to visit even if you are with a stroller or a wheelchair. It’s one of the most Instagrammable spots in Wroclaw, you can take pretty awesome photos in there.

Japanese Garden Wroclaw is situated within the walking distance to the Zoo, the Centennial Hall (Jahrhunderthalle), and Pergola. It’s where you can watch one of the best Multimedia Fountain shows in the evening.

Green Maze in Park Brochowski

Green Maze located in Brochowski park is a hidden gem of Wroclaw. Even though it’s open all year round, it’s worth visiting when the labyrinth is green. The photo below was taken in the middle of April. The hedge is still missing the leaves. 2 weeks more and they will be all there.

If you are traveling to Wroclaw with kids, that’s definitely a place worth visiting. Finding the way out of the maze may be a fun thing to do for the entire family.

The labyrinth is located right behind Hotel Brochow. If you are traveling by car, just type the address Centralna 32, park your vehicle for free next to the hotel and go to the maze.

Admission fee: freeAddress: Konduktorska, 52-443 WrocławOpening hours: always open, best to visit from May till September

Visiting labyrinth is one of the Wroclaw Poland things to do.

Ossolineum Garden

In contrary to the gardens I’ve mentioned before, Ossolineum has no admission fee. Going there is one of the free things to do Wroclaw. Just like the Botanical Garden, it’s a beautiful and relaxing oasis located in the heart of the city.

The big red building is a library that is open to the public almost every day. It has one of the largest collections of scientific books in Poland.

Old Town

If you wonder what to see in Wroclaw, you should definitely start with the Old Town. It’s where most of the important sights are located. It’s quite big – you can walk around it and still won’t manage to see everything.

I am not writing about all the tourist attractions in the Old Town area, as this post would turn into a book. It’s already long enough! I am only mentioning the places that are (in my opinion) the best to visit.

District of Four Denominations & Mutual Respect
(Dzielnica Czterech Swiatyn)

Did you know that over 80% of Poles are Catholics? When you travel around Poland, you will see churches everywhere, no matter if it’s a big city or a tiny village. It’s not that easy to see other sacral buildings though. That’s what makes the District of Mutual Respect in Wroclaw quite unique. You will find there a synagogue, Roman Catholic, Evangelical, and Orthodox churches.

It’s a symbol of Wroclaw’s tolerance to people of different religions.

District of Four Denominations & Mutual Respect in Wroclaw is a place worth visiting.

Wroclaw Market Square (Rynek)

The landmark of the city, the most important place to visit, a vibrant area full of restaurants, cafes, and people. Wroclaw market square is a must-visit during your stay in the city. If you are traveling to Poland in the winter, it’s where you will find Wroclaw Christmas Market. It’s arguably the best festive fair in the country.

Right in the middle of Rynek, you can see Wrocław town hall. This Gothic building from the 13th century is considered as the top monument in the city. If you want, you can get inside. Right now, there is Wroclaw Museum of Bourgeois Art inside the Wroclaw town hall. It’s open from Wednesday to Sunday. Is it worth visiting? Not really, if you are not that much into history.

Wroclaw Market Square is the landmark of the city.

Tenement House at Rynek 5 (hidden window)

Even though there are many tenement houses in the Old Town, there is one that is pretty unique. It’s located at Rynek 5 street. It seems pretty ordinary but when you look closely, you will see that one window of the house is fake. It’s actually painted.

If you are traveling to Wroclaw with a family or friends, ask them whether they can spot the painted window.

Be sure to find the hidden window while on the market square Wroclaw.

Plac Solny (Salt Square)

It may be called the little brother of Market Square Wroclaw. It’s located right next to it but it’s usually less crowded than Rynek. In the middle of Plac Solny, there are the stands with flowers open all year round.

It’s easy to guess why the square is named like this – it’s where the salt has been sold throughout the ages. Plac Solny is one of the places to visit in Wroclaw that you simply cannot miss.

Plac Solny is a little brother of market square Wroclaw.

Witches Bridge (Penitential Bridge)

Most Pokutnic is the Wroclaw must see attraction. According to the legend, the bridge located on the top of St. Mary Magdalene Church is haunted. It’s a home to the souls of young and reckless girls who haven’t get married on time. They were too carefree during their lives, that’s why they can’t go to heaven now.

The legend is not the reason why it’s worth to climb up to the top of the church of St. Mary Magdalene. It’s the view. Witches bridge is arguably the best viewpoint in Wroclaw.

Before we visited the city, we’ve been reading on different blogs that Sky Tower Wroclaw is where you can get the best view of the city. It’s not true. We’ve been there and we decided not to include it in this post. Sky Tower Wroclaw is a pretty weird place, it’s empty, most of the shops are closed and it’s really difficult to get around. We definitely don’t recommend going there, there so many better Wroclaw things to do.

Panorama Raclawicka (Wroclaw Panorama of Raclawice Battle)

Panorama Wroclaw is an amazing painting that is one of the famous landmarks in Poland. It’s really HUGE! Created in the 19th century, it uses what we call today a 3D technology. The painting shows Raclawice Battle and it’s full of interesting details. Panorama Raclawicka is a must see in Wroclaw for everyone, even if you are not that into art.

Wroclaw Gnomes (Dwarfs)

Wroclaw gnomes are unique on a global scale.

Dwarf hunting is one of the best things to do in Wroclaw Poland. There are over 350 gnome statues all around the city. It will take a lot of time to find them all. If you are already at the Old Town area, look around. It’s very likely that you will see these tiny statues closeby.

If you are traveling to Wroclaw with kids, they will absolutely love searching for the dwarfs. Our baby girl was 1 year old during our stay in the city and she already enjoyed looking for the gnomes in Wroclaw.

What is the story behind Wroclaw dwarfs?

There are many statues of gnomes in Wroclaw.

It all began back in the ’80s when Poland was still under Russian influence. The citizens of Wroclaw started painting dwarfs as a sign of protest against communism. Poland has become independent at the beginning of the ’90s. Gnomes in Wroclaw were forgotten for more than 10 years. In 2001 they slowly started to coming back to the city. This time not as a sign of protest, but as a tourist attraction.

You can buy a map of dwarfs in any Tourism Information center in Wroclaw.

Have some fun and try to find as many dwarfs within 2 hours as possible! Win with others and join the challenge–> here.

Street Art

Taking a photo of the dragonfly is a must while in Wroclaw.

Dragonfly

The big dragonfly is located at the wall of the Kalambur – Osrodek Partnerstwa Europejskiego building, located at Kuźnicza 29 street. Right next to it you can find a statue of the crocodile. It may not be one of the top Wroclaw attractions but still, it looks pretty impressive.

Address: Kuznicza 29, 50-138 Wrocław

Wanda Rutkiewicz mural is located next to the busy street.

Wanda Rutkiewicz Mural

Even though there are many murals in Wroclaw, Wanda Rutkiewicz’s street art is our favorite. She was the famous Polish mountain climber and the first woman to successfully summit K2.

Address: Legionow 4a, 53-110 Wrocław

Angel Halo in Wroclaw is best seen by night.

Angel Halo

Even though you can see the Halo during a day, it’s so must better to visit at night, when it’s illuminated. It’s easy to notice when you walk down the Szewska street.

Address: Szewska 14, 50-139 Wroclaw

Dom “Pod Trzema Murzynami”.

Three Black Men House

Dom “Pod Trzema Murzynami” is located at Plac Solny. It was built back in the 19th century and became a landmark of Wroclaw.

Address: Kielbasnicza 32, 50-079 Wrocław

Finding Plüddemann’s signature on Gepperta 4 building may be a fun thing to do in Wroclaw.

Hidden Signature

It may not be the street art but it’s a pretty interesting thing to spot by the insightful tourist. If you look up to the top of the building at Geppert 4 street, you will see a signature of the architect – Richard Plüddemann. It’s only visible on a sunny day.

If you can’t see it, take a photo of the building and zoom in.

Address: Eugeniusza Gepperta 4, 50-029 Wrocław

Riverside sign ‘Wro’ is worth seeing.

‘Wro’ sign

The sign is really easy to find. It’s located by the Oder River, right under the Grunwald Bridge. This promenade is one of the most Instagrammable spots in Wroclaw, so be sure to go there to take some awesome photos.

Address: next to the Grunwald Bridge

Lace gate is our favorite street art in Wroclaw.

Lace Gate

Poland is famous all over the world from the beautiful hand-made lace. If you like this folk style, you should definitely see the Lace Gate. It was painted by street art artist NeSpoon, that is called the Polish Banksy. The Gate is beautifully illuminated at night but it looks just as good in daylight.

Address: Gajowa 44, 50-521 Wrocław

Anonymous Pedestrians is a world-famous art.

Anonymous Pedestrians (Przejscie)

14 sculptures located at the intersection of Pilsudskiego and Swidnicka Streets has been listed as the most creative statues in the world. It’s a symbol of walking out of the communist to democracy, and freedom. The sculptures represent the entire society, including children, men, women, and elderlies.

Address: Piłsudskiego 56, 50-033 Wroclaw

Pomnik Zwierzat Rzeznych is a fun place to visit with kids in Wroclaw.

Memorial to Slaughtered Animals (Pomnik Zwierzat Rzeznych)

Jatki is where the butcheries were concentrated throughout the ages. The Memorial to Slaughtered Animals was placed there to commemorate this area.

It’s one of the best Wroclaw attractions for kids. All children love animals.

Address: Galerie na Jatkach, Jatki, 50-111 Wroclaw

You can see hieroglyphs in the heart of Wroclaw.

Hieroglyphs

Wroclaw truly is a unique city. You can see the ancient Egyptian design right in the middle of the market square!

It’s located in one of the first skyscrapers in the city, a grey modernist building on the corner of Rynek.

Address: Rynek 9/11, 50-950 50-111 Wroclaw

Ostrow TumskiWroclaw (Cathedral Island Wroclaw)

Even though Ostrow Tumski Wroclaw is an island, you may not even notice it. You don’t need to take a ferry to get there. All you need to do is to walk through the bridge to get to this one of the most famous landmarks in Poland.

Wroclaw Cathedral is a landmark of the city.

Wroclaw Cathedral is the main building and tourist attraction of Ostrow Tumski. It’s a huge and monumental Gothic church built in the 11th century.

The cathedral is still operating. The sightseeing is free of charge however it’s forbidden during the mass hours. If you want to see the amazing view from the top of the church, get to the top of the tower. The admission fee is about $2.

One of the ways to get to the Cathedral Island Wroclaw is to walk through the Love Bride

What’s interesting, if you look closely, you can see a bullet in the cathedral’s front wall. It was left there on purpose to commemorate the terrible times of World War II.

One way of getting to Wroclaw Tumski is to walk through the Love Bridge (Most Tumski). It’s full of padlocks. Another tourist attraction in the Wroclaw Cathedral Island is Botanical Garden that I’ve already mentioned earlier on in the article.

Address: plac Katedralny 18, 50-329 Wroclaw

Hydropolis

Earth is existing mainly because of the water. Hydropolis, one of the most interesting museums in Wroclaw, is all about it. It’s a great place to visit for kids and adults. The museum is interactive, so you won’t get bored there.

Grunwald Bridge (Most Grunwaldzki)

I’ve mentioned before that there are over 300 bridges in Wroclaw and it’s really hard to visit them all. The most famous that you need to see is Most Grunwaldzki. It was one of the first suspension bridges in the area. According to the legend, its’ architect committed suicide because he believed the bridge will collapse. It’s only the legend though! It was designed by Richard Plüddemann, the very same architect whose signature you can spot at Geppert 4 street.

What’s interesting, at the end of World War II, Nazis built a small airport there. Over 13,000 have died during the construction work. For what? Only for Gauleiter of Lower Silesia, Karl Hanke who was the only person that used this runway to escape the city. Ironically, he has died one month later.

Grunwald Bridge is the most famous bridge in Wrocław.

Wroclaw’s Oder Boulevards (Bulwar Marii i Lecha Kaczynskich)

Oder Boulevards are arguably the best place for a walk in Wroclaw. They are wheelchair and strollers friendly. If you get tired, you can sit on one of the benches. You can also take a Wroclaw river cruise from there to see the city from a different perspective.

If you are spending a weekend Wroclaw, you should definitely visit Boulevards – it’s a truly local place!

Wyspa Daliowa

The smallest of all Wroclaw’s islands is worth visiting because of the huge mirror sculpture called Nawa. You can take pretty awesome photos and videos there.

Wyspa Daliowa is one of the best Instagrammable spots in Wroclaw.

Afrykarium Zoo Wrocław

For Poles, visiting The Zoo is one of the best things to do in Wroclaw. It’s the oldest zoo in the country, and one of the largest (when it comes to the number of animal species) in the world. You can spend the entire day there. It’s a kid-friendly place. You don’t even need to take a stroller, they have special trolleys that you can rent (one trolley is enough for 1-4 children).

If you are traveling by car, it may be surprisingly difficult for you to find a good spot to leave your vehicle. There is no official parking zoo Wrocław. You can either park next to the Centennial Hall (it’s really expensive) or behind the Zoo Hotel. The entire day there costs just 10-20 PLN ($2.5-$5) and it’s just a few steps away from the zoo. The official name of this parking zoo Wrocław is Park na Wyspie and the address is Wróblewskiego 9.

TIP: Wroclaw Fountain, Japanese Garden, Pergola, Centennial Garden, and ZaZoo Beach Bar are located really close to the zoo.

Afrykarium Zoo Wrocław is a must visit while in the city!

Fun

Kolejkowo

This place is one of the best Wroclaw tourist attractions for kids. The largest railway model in Poland is a fun spot to visit all year long, as it’s located inside the building.

There is a small playground in the Kolejkowo, great for toddlers who may be too young to enjoy watching the trains.

Polinka

If you are looking for Wroclaw tourist attractions for kids, you cannot miss Polinka. In fact, taking a ride by cable car over the Oder is a fun thing to do for everyone. It takes less than 3 minutes to get from one side of the river to another.

Go Jump Wrocław

Aquapark Wroclaw

If you are looking for the best swimming pool Wroclaw, you should definitely visit Aquapark. There is a kid zone, sauna zone, and swimming zone inside. You can also find plenty of other attractions there, including artificial wave, water slides, restaurants, and more.

As you can see, the prices in Wroclaw are relatively low, so it’s a great destination for the budget travelers.

How to Get Around Wroclaw?

One of the most popular ways to get around Wroclaw is using Lime electric scooters. They are available all around the city. All you need to do is install an app, add your credit card, and travel wherever you want. It’s not the cheapest option but the huge advantage is that you can leave the scooter wherever you want.

Of course, you can use Wroclaw public transport as well, especially if you want to go somewhere outside the Old Town. There are trams and buses available in the city.

The third option is car rent Wroclaw. It’s not recommended if you want to stay just in the city center. If you want to take day trips to Karpacz, Krakow, or anywhere else, then you should consider renting a vehicle (more about the best day trips from Wroclaw later on in this post).

Hotel in Wroclaw for budget travelers

kamienica pod aniolami

Kamienica pod Aniolami is located in the heart of Wroclaw, in the district of Mutual Respect (Four Denominations). Even though it belongs to the Lutheran Church, you can’t really feel it. It’s a regular accommodation, with basic but cozy rooms. If you are looking for hotels in Wroclaw Old Town area, you won’t be disappointed.

They have private parking which is awesome if you (just like us) are traveling by car. The breakfast at Kamienica pod Aniolami is homemade and delicious. We absolutely loved it. This place is family-friendly, kids of all ages are welcomed there. On the second floor of the main building, there is a small kid zone where they can have fun. It’s right next to the shared kitchen.

One of the recommended hostels in Wroclaw

Chilli Hostel is cheap, comfortable, and centrally located. What else can you possibly expect from the good accommodation? There are both private rooms and dormitories available, the hostel is family-friendly, so it’s a perfect place for everyone.

Hotel in Wroclaw for a long-term stay

InVite is one of the best hotels in Wroclaw.

We absolutely love Invite hotel. It’s one of the best hotels in Wroclaw for a long-term stay. Why? Because all the rooms have a kitchenette, they are spacious and cozy. InVite has private parking, so you don’t need to worry about where to leave your car. They serve a delicious breakfast every day. The most important factor is a cleaning service that is not available in all the apartments Wroclaw for rent.

InVite is a family-friendly place. It’s arguably the best apartament Wroclaw to book for those traveling with kids.

You can always check out Airbnb Wroclaw if you are searching for a home-like stay.

If you are looking for Wroclaw spa hotel, check out HP Park Plaza (in the city center) or Zamek Topacz (on the outskirts of town).

Address: Katedralna 9, 50-328 WroclawOpening hours: 12 PM – 9/10 PM

OKwine bar

OKWine Bar

It is one of the best restaurants in Wroclaw with a view. They not only have a wide selection of wine but also serve great food. This riverside restaurant is a nice place for a date or to spend a relaxing afternoon with your travel buddies.

Zloty Pies

Located in the heart of the Old Town, it’s one of the best restaurants in Wroclaw. They not only serve outstanding food but also have their own craft beer. We love everything about Zloty Pies! It’s our favorite place to eat at Rynek.
We can’t really understand why they are not in the top 10 best restaurants Wroclaw on Tripadvisor.

TIP: Right next to Zloty Pies, there is another famous place to eat, called Bernard. We had dinner there once and we were really disappointed. It was overpriced, their craft beer was lousy, and they didn’t have many dishes from the menu (f.e. beer ice-cream, and beer soup). Don’t go there.

Piekarnia Zloto Nadodrza

It’s not really a restaurant but a bakery, where you can try Wroclaw Donuts (paczki wroclawsko-lwowskie) with plum and cinnamon filling. Zloto Nadodrza is also one of the places to eat in Wroclaw where you can buy traditional Polish pastries and bread.

Gastropub Wroclawska

It’s one of the best restaurants Wroclaw to try traditional local food. They serve dishes that were eaten in the city many years ago, like crayfish soup, red cabbage bigos, and more. It’s all really delicious! Gastropub Wroclawka is located very close to Rynek, so be sure to eat dinner there at least once.

Szynkarnia

It’s where you can have arguably the best Wroclaw breakfast. Szynkarnia has quality products and a wide collection of craft beer. It’s not only a restaurant but also a shop where you can buy local products like szynka (meat), cheese, honey, and more. Yum!

Where to Go Shopping in Wroclaw?

Wroclavia

It’s our favorite Wroclaw shopping mall. Why? Because it’s very child-friendly. Wroclavia has many family rooms, there is a kid toilet in every bathroom. There are also plenty of small playgrounds all around the mall. Right next to the cinema, there is a big playroom called Fikolki where you can leave your child and do some shopping.

Wroclavia has many other awesome facilities, like free high-speed WiFi, a lounge with comfortable chairs (a perfect place to work for digital nomads), drinkable water, and more. The shopping mall is located right next to the main Wroclaw bus station and the main Wroclaw train station.

Address: Sucha 1, 50-086 WrocławOpening hours: 9 AM – 9/10 PM

Wroclavia is the most child-friendly place for shopping in the city. It’s located right next to main bus station Wroclaw

Wyspa Slodowa (Slodowa Island)

A peaceful oasis in the heart of the city. This small island is a perfect place to relax, have a drink, and experience Wroclaw nightlife. You will find there great restaurants with a view and even a beach bar.

Pasaz Niepolda

It’s hard to speak about the nightlife in Wroclaw without mentioning Pasaz Niepolda. It’s a spot visited by students, so if you want to make new friends, that’s your place to go. There are many bars and clubs at Pasaz Niepodla, so after a drink or two, you can dance as well.

Address: Wyspa Slodowa, 53-110 WroclawOpening hours: 7/8 PM – until the party is over

Pasaz Pokoyhof

Great place for mature travelers. Some people call it the most hipster place in Wroclaw. If you are traveling to Wroclaw with kids, or you are looking for a bit more quiet place to have a drink, you’ll love Pasaz Pokoyhof. More info here.

In Poland

It’s worth to travel from Krakow to Wroclaw and back.

Wroclaw to Krakow

Krakow is the most frequently visited city in Poland. No wonder why! The heartbreakingly beautiful Old Town, Jewish district – Kazimierz, Wieliczka Salt Mine, and Auschwitz Concentration Camp are places everyone should visit at least once. If you want to take Wroclaw to Krakow train, you can book your ticket here (the prices start at $12). Car trip will take less than 3 hours, so does a bus ride.

Arguably the best option is to take a day trip from Wroclaw to Krakow. You will be picked up from your hotel, a guide will show you the most important sights in the city, and you will be back in Wroclaw on the very same day. For more info, follow this link.

Take a day trip from Wroclaw to Warsaw to see the capital of Poland.

Wroclaw to Warsaw

The capital of Poland is one of the most vibrant places in the country. It’s called ‘The Phoenix City’, as it was almost completely destroyed during WWII, and then rose from the ashes.

Warsaw has a beautiful Old Town, many interesting museums, and tourist attractions. Car ride from Warsaw to Wroclaw and back will take about 3,5h. The traveling time is similar if you take Warsaw to Wroclaw train. The prices start at $1. Taking the bus is cheaper. One way ticket can cost as little as $5. Surprisingly, I couldn’t find any tour operator that organizes a day trip from Wroclaw to Warsaw. If you are already there, follow this link to find the most interesting tours in the city.

Poznan is one of the best cities to live in Poland.

Wroclaw to Poznan

Poznan is one of the most colorful cities in Poland. It’s famous for its amazing architecture, the town hall’s billy goats, and delicious rogale swietomarcinskie (sweet croissants). Poznan is also one of the best cities to live in Poland. If you have a car, the journey from Wroclaw will take about 2,5h. You can also take a bus which is the cheapest option. There is a direct train from Poznan to Wroclaw as well. The ticket prices start at $7.

If you are a lazy traveler (just like us!), book a day trip from Wroclaw to Poznan. It’s affordable and you will be sure you have seen all the important places in the city.

Miniature Park shows the most important sights of Lower Silesia in miniature.

Wroclaw to Jelenia Gora

Did you know that there are mountains just 2 hours driving from Wroclaw? Jelenia Gora is the biggest city of Polish Karkonosze mountains, however, there is much more to see there than that. The spa town Karpacz with Vang stave church, the Miniature Park, and even Noah’s Ark.

Abroad

Take a trip from Berlin to Wroclaw and back.

Wroclaw Berlin

The distance from the capital of Germany to Wroclaw is not that far, that’s why it’s worth taking a day trip to Berlin while in Lower Silesia. You can either consider car hire Wroclaw (the driving is about 3,5h), taking a train (it takes 4 hours, the prices start at 30 euro), or traveling by bus (it’s the cheapest option, the prices start at $20; the journey time is about 4 hours).

Wroclaw to Prague

The capital of the Czech Republic is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. It’s worth taking a day trip from Wroclaw to Prague. If you decide to travel by car, it will take about 4 hours to get there. There is no direct Wroclaw to Prague train, so your second option is a bus.
